Difference doesn't vary based on purchase size. With powder, the difference is greater for subscriptions than non-subscriptions. With ready-to-drink, the difference is the same regardless of if you are subscribing or not.

Canadians also seem to pay the same price for 2.0 as they do for Coffiest, Cacao and Nectar - $3.75/bottle unsubscribed, $3.56/bottle subscribed.

So as a Canadian I luckily created a sub for Nectar and Cacao on 4th of this month before the price increase went through. I understand I can pause my subscription without losing my pricing but can I increase the volume of my sub without losing the legacy pricing as well?

Additionally, Is the price increase a temporary measure while the company builds Canadian infrastructure or is this likely to be "the price" going forward? I have a few friends who are very interested in Soylent who are a lot less interested after a 30% price increase.

I'd actually know in what specific ways it's more expensive to operate in Canada, other than shipping across the border.

At any rate, I'm not bothered by this, personally - it doesn't affect current subs. But I am bothered by an increase in general, because one of the stated goals of Soylent is to get much cheaper. (I'm too drunk & lazy right now to cite that, do it yourself if you don't believe me)

I think it's fair to charge in USD and add a shipping charge for Canada for sure. Or they could price in CAD and bake in the additional costs for selling in Canada. Charges in USD adds currency exchange fees on top of already higher prices.

Haha, yeah, I'm glad I have the old price with my subscription. It's about $2 CAD per 400cal powder meal for me right now. It would be a little over $2.50 CAD per 400cal meal with the new subscription price (roughly $71 vs $90 CAD per box, subscribed).

I haven't tried it, but Hol Food is $80 CAD per tub with a subscription. They still list their info as 28 500cal meals, so it'd be roughly $2.30 CAD per 400cal at current prices. If I had to pay the new price for Soylent, I'd seriously consider switching to Hol Food.

While we're on the topic, are there any other powder options for Canadians besides Hol Food and Biolent? What about ready-to-drink options?

There are no alternative ready-to-drinks to my knowledge, but there is one more powder company: Tudo (https://www.tudoyou.com).

In addition to that, there are a whole host of other options that ship to Canada from elsewhere which you can see in the following two links (they share some brands but also have some the other doesn't):

For any new Canadian customer, they now have to pay $42.75 USD for a subscribed 12 pack.At the current exchange rate, it is 56.25 CAD.That comes to $4.68 CAD per bottle.

32% price increase.That's a lot!

I've converted 9 friends to Soylent 2.0 so far (and 3 friends to Soylent powder).And most of them are saying that despite the exchange rate, it was worth it but it was also limit pricey.

Now, I have to adjust my pitch and it makes it ridiculous to tell them it's $4.68 CAD per bottle.

Thirty. Two. Percent.

Imagine your favorite restaurant tells you: "Your $10 meal is now $13.20"Hahaha, that almost feels like a joke.

(Sorry for the click-bait title.)

P.S.: On top of that, they make you select "Canada" in the website options and have all the prices adjust, but they stay in USD, hahaha, thanks for the added salt in this expensive wound. Good thing my healthcare is free.
